The Twilight Thunder Sect, which had been a top-tier power for many years, vanished without a trace, a truly lamentable situation. From then on, there were only four top-tier powers on the cultivation continent.
However, given the heinous things Lin Zhou did, it's only natural that he has ended up like this.
Jiang Wubai walked up to Ruan Xiyan and Jun Yu. When Jiang Lin saw them, he shrank back. "Dad, you don't still want to take me back to the Burning Weapon Sect, do you?"
Looking at Jiang Lin's expression, Jiang Wubai wanted to slap him across the face.
Is the Burning Weapon Sect some kind of monster? Why is this brat avoiding it like the plague?
Jiang Wubai glared at Jiang Lin with annoyance, then looked at Ruan Xiyan and Jun Yu and cupped his hands in greeting.
"I am very grateful to both of you for your help during this crisis," Jiang Wubai said sincerely.
Yan Gonglin and Ye Shu also rushed over to express their gratitude, saying, "Thank you both."
They had been deceived by Lin Zhou for a long time. If it weren't for Sect Leader Ruan and this young master, Lin Zhou's conspiracy would probably have succeeded.
"I owe Sect Leader Ruan such a huge favor this time. If you ever need any help in the future, please feel free to come to Jueyu Sect and I will do my best to help you," Ye Shu said generously.
Some forces stepped forward to express their gratitude, and then hurriedly left. They had come to the Twilight Thunder Sect to participate in the Thunder Listening Spring Gathering, and they were truly quite shocked.
“I see that both Sect Master Ye and Sect Master Jiang have suffered some losses in strength. Why don’t we go to Thunder City to rest for a while? Sect Master Ruan can come along too,” Yan Gonglin suggested.
Ye Shu glanced at the disciples behind her who had suffered heavy losses, and nodded in response: "I'm fine. Sect Master Ruan's personality suits my temperament very well, and I also want to have more exchanges with Sect Master Ruan."
Jiang Wubai thought about it and agreed.
They're already out, so a little longer won't make a difference. With Chuan'er watching over the Burning Weapon Sect, nothing should go wrong.
Besides, Lin'er is still here. If Lin'er doesn't go with him, he can't just tie him up and take him back. Staying in the city for one night will allow him to see the brat more often.
In the inn, in a private room.
Ruan Xiyan and the others sat at the table, ordered some food, and chatted while eating.
"This trip was dangerous, but fortunately everything has been resolved. Sect Master Ruan, what are your plans next?" Yan Gonglin asked.
"The troubles involving medicinal beasts in the past were all instigated by Lin Zhou. Although Lin Zhou is dead and the Twilight Thunder Sect has also fallen, the uproar about medicinal beasts on the continent will not stop just because Lin Zhou is dead."
"We'll meet force with force and water with earth," Ruan Xiyan replied. "If you're not afraid of death, then come and take it."
Humans are prone to greed, and it's normal for others to covet her possession of medicinal beasts.
All she could do was kill! No matter how many came, she would kill them all! Until she terrified them, so they would no longer covet what did not belong to them.
"Sect Leader Ruan is right. Anyone who dares to covet other people's treasures without the ability should be killed. Come, come! I'll toast Sect Leader Ruan." Ye Shu laughed and picked up the wine cup.
Ruan Xiyan raised her wine glass and clinked it against hers, then tilted her head back and drank it down.
"Although Sect Leader Ruan is more than ten years younger than me, we hit it off immediately and have similar personalities."
“If Sect Leader Ruan had been born a few years earlier, we could have met sooner and perhaps become sworn sisters.” Ye Shu slammed her hand on the table. “No, it’s not too late to become sworn sisters now.”
Seeing Ye Shu's impulsive and unpredictable manner, it was as if she was about to pull Ruan Xiyan into a sworn brotherhood on the spot.
Jiang Wubai's eyelids twitched slightly; this Night Sect Master's personality was still as unpredictable as ever.
Yan Gonglin coughed lightly, interrupting Ye Shu, "Sect Leader Ye, why don't we talk about serious matters first?"
"Sect Leader Ruan, now that the Twilight Thunder Sect has been destroyed, the five top-tier forces have become four. I wonder if Sect Leader Ruan has any thoughts of taking their place?"
"The reason why the medicinal beasts in the hands of Sect Master Ruan are coveted by many forces is ultimately because their deterrent power is not strong enough. Why not take this opportunity to make the Illusionary Hidden Sect a top-tier force?"
Ye Shu interjected, "That's a good idea. The term 'top-tier power' sounds awful. If Sect Master Ruan's Illusionary Hidden Sect could become the fifth top-tier power, that would be even better."
Ruan Xiyan's eyes showed a thoughtful look. Making the Illusionary Hidden Sect a top-tier power could indeed solve the problem at its root.
After all, the reason why so many forces on the mainland dare to rob the medicinal beast is because they think the Illusionary Hidden Sect is not powerful enough and is easy to bully.
If a top-tier power possesses a medicinal beast, even if they had the greatest courage, they wouldn't dare to rob it.
A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime. To possess a treasure without matching ability is a serious offense!
It's easy to say, but becoming a top influencer is by no means so simple.
The Illusionary Concealment Sect is now a mid-tier power, at best not even reaching the level of an upper-tier power, let alone a top-tier power.
"Given the current strength of the Illusionary Concealment Sect, it will probably be very difficult for them to become a top-tier power," Jiang Wubai said bluntly.
Ye Shu pondered, "Indeed, Sect Master Ruan, how about I lend you some people to bolster the reputation of the Illusionary Hidden Sect?"
Ruan Xiyan shook her head, "Thank you for your kindness, Sect Master Ye, but relying on external forces is not a long-term solution. If we want the Illusionary Hidden Sect to maintain its position as a top-tier power, we must rely on the Illusionary Hidden Sect itself."
“Sect Master Ruan is right. Only when the Illusionary Hidden Sect becomes stronger can it deter those forces that covet the medicinal beasts,” Yan Gonglin said.
"The reason why the Illusionary Concealment Sect's strength cannot improve is actually due to the problem of resources. All of our five top forces have independent mineral veins for cultivation resources."
"The quantity of those resources is terrifying, something that ordinary forces could never even imagine. Now that the Twilight Thunder Sect has been destroyed, the mineral resources that belonged to the Twilight Thunder Sect have become ownerless."
"If the Illusionary Concealment Sect obtains those mineral resources, becoming a top-tier power is just around the corner. The Twilight Thunder Sect was dealt with by Sect Master Ruan and this young master."
“If it weren’t for the two of them, we would have had trouble even escaping, let alone sitting here safely now. Therefore, the resources belonging to the Twilight Thunder Sect should naturally belong to Sect Master Ruan.”
Ruan Xiyan never expected Yan Gonglin to make such a suggestion, and she never expected that he would be willing to give up the mineral resources of Mulei Sect.
Logically speaking, when a top-tier power perishes, the various mineral resources belonging to their sect will be divided up by other top-tier powers, while ordinary powers, including upper-class powers, won't even get a taste of the spoils.
Previously, acquiring mineral resources from mid-tier forces was enough to greatly increase the strength of the Illusionary Concealment Sect.
The mineral resources occupied by top-tier forces are undoubtedly among the best on the continent, and one can only imagine how abundant those resources are.
If she could acquire the mineral resources under the Twilight Thunder Sect's control, Ruan Xiyan was confident that she could make the Illusionary Hidden Sect stand at the top within a year and become a top-tier power.
Yan Gonglin looked at Jiang Wubai and Ye Shu and asked, "What do you two think? What do you think of this suggestion?"
